The Alaska Ski for Women is North America’s largest women’s cross-country ski event, with close to 1,000 Alaska women coming together to celebrate skiing in beautiful Kincaid Park. On the first Sunday in February, women of all ages and abilities come out to ski approximately 4 km (2.4 miles), many in colorful costumes. The event supports the Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage and nonprofits working to stop domestic violence in Alaska.

   The final registration cost includes both the registration cost (seen above) and a 3% CC fee at the time of purchase.
